Mayor Tate called the public hearing portion of the meeting to order at

the Commission's session to order at 8:15 PM, to consider the following
items:
ITEM #1 ZONING APPLICATION 89-10-JAVATEX CORPORATION
Mr. H.T.(Tcmmy)Hardy advised that Zoning Application 89-10 was filed by
Javatex Corporation requesting rezoning of 39.9297 acres from "R-3.5",
Two -Family District Regulations to "R-7.51', Single -Family District
Regulations. Mr. Hardy stated that the tract is located north of the
"V" of State Highway 114 frontage road where it intersects with
Northwest Highway, west of the Scaggs Center and east of the Southlake
boundary. Then Mr. Don Hertzog displayed a zoning exhibit even though
a concept plan is not required with low-density single-family rezoning
requests. He further noted that letters from the Texas Highway
Department had indicated approval for an entry street to the
subdivision from State Highway 114.
There being no questions or discussion from the Council or commission,
Mayor Tate invited guests present to speak. Mr. Charles Brannon of
6934 Robin Pow, Dallas, Texas, representing property to the southwest
of the subject tract requested that a street be stubbed out to his
property because the Javatex proposal would land -lock his acreage from
the Grapevine portion with the majority of the property being in
Grapevine rather than Southlake. Councilwoman Sharron Spencer
requested that the Commissioners investigate a solution for the Brannon
"R-3.5", Duplex tract's access to Park Blvd. which would not access a
single-family neighborhood.
There being no further Council or Commission discussion or deliberation
and no further guests wishing to speak, Mayor Tate asked if there had
been letters or petitions submitted. City Secretary Linda Huff said
that none had been received.
The public hearing was then closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, the discussion and
deliberation concerned Mr. Brannon's request to establish an access to
his "R-3.5" property adjacent to the Javatex tract. Mr. Brannon was
assured by Commissioners and Staff that access would be provided by
future development north of the subject tract.

advised that only two lots remained to be developed in the Hayley

item for the Commissioners

Mr® To Hardy advised that the purposes for amending the subject
sections were as follows:
Section 12, Definitions - to define the term, "reverse frontage"
Section 25, "CC", Cosa munit ' v Commercial --(1) to set the minimum lot
width and depth at 120 feet to provide flexibility in achieving the
30,000 square foot minimum lot size; and (2) allow outdoor commercial
amusements such as golf driving ranges, miniature golf and archery as a
conditional use

Section 48, Conditional Uses and Section 49, Special Uses - to
eliminate the detailed landscape plan as a required part of the
conditional or special use permit which is authorized by City Council.
Instead Staff would have the ability to approve the detailed landscape
plan through the site plan application. The plan would still be
required to be submitted in conjunction with the conditional or special
use application but would not be a part of the zoning request. The
proposed amendments would eliminate the need for public hearings for
minor items such as revising landscape placement or materials.
Section 49, Special Uses - The proposed amendment would allow bed and
breakfast owner -occupied facilities in "R-7.5," "R-12.5," "R-20,"
"R-5.011 and "R-TH, 11 zoning districts and bed and breakfast
owner -occupied facilities in the "CBD" Zoning District as special uses.
Section 53, Landscaping - to reduce the planter island size from 10' X
20' to 9' X 18' which is the minimum dimensions for a standard parking
space.
Section 60, Sign Standards - to allow flexibility for sign cabinet
width and height dimensions for pole signs allowed as a conditional use
in planned commercial centers to eliminate the minimum width and depth
requirement, and allow the maximum square footage of 288 square feet to
regulate the width and length.
With no questions from Commissioners, and the only concern expressed
from Council being allowing bed and breakfast facilities to be in "any"
residential district. A alternate suggestion was to delineate an
established residential area and restrict bed and breakfast facilities
to only central residential areas adjacent to the "CBD."
There was no one wishing to speak; and the City Secretary had no
correspondence to report, so the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Marcy Ratcliff outlined the
amendments as proposed; and Commissioners discussed the individual
amendments. Then the amendments were considered in one vote with the
exception of Section 49, Special Use Permits relative to allowing bed
and breakfast facilities.
Commissioner Ery Meyer made a motion to approve the amendments as
proposed to Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Sections
12, 25, 31, 48, 53 and 60. Commissioner Robert Hinson seconded the
motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Meyer, Atchley and Hinson
Nays: None
Absent: Martin
Then Commissioner Robert Hinson made a motion to recommend the City
Council approve the proposed amendments to Section 49, including the
bed and breakfast facilities without limiting residential bed and
breakfast facilities to Central Grapevine. Commissioner Larry Atchley
seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Cook, Meyer, Atchley and Hinson
Nays: Oliver
Absent: Martin
MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION AND/OR REPORTS
In response to Chairman Cook's request for any discussion or reports,
Marcy Ratcliff noted that all five Commissioners present were needed
for a quorum November 21, 1989, due to Commissioner Martin's absence
and John Price's resignation. Joy Carroll briefly discussed the
American Planning Commission Conference held in October in Lubbock.
Then Commissioner's voiced consensus was to instruct Staff to schedule
a workshop November 21, 1989, at 7 PM prior to the 7:30 public
hearing. The purpose of the workshop is to review proposed amendments
